Advanced Digital Control
The Olympic Kilns 1818HE comes standard with the Digital KilnStar Controller, offering a seamless, user-friendly interface for precise control over your firing process.

Customization for Versatility
Tailor your 1818HE to meet your specific artistic needs with optional features like multi-zone control for enhanced firing uniformity and a vent system for optimized firing atmospheres. The Dual Media Lid Element allows for glass fusing and slumping, expanding the kiln's use beyond ceramics into glasswork.

Upgrading to solid-state relays is highly recommended by Pottery Pulse to improve kiln performance, ensuring smoother element operation, better temperature accuracy, and longer element life.
